What does land sell for per acre in Kentucky?  This is our #1 question. Everyone asks, and I can give you a range.  I will attempt to answer this below, but this is a difficult question to answer “simply” – here’s why…

Size of parcel – obviously, a 3, 4, 5 acre tract will sell for considerably more per acre than a 100 acre tract.  Find out what your goal is – are you looking for a low price per acre or are you looking for a good value on a nice building lot for a home, retreat or occasional use home?
Set your goals and go towards it.  A 4 ac horse farm for $25,000 – $35,000 (compared to an SUV for $40,000 – $70,000) is a bargain – period.  Think what the vehicle is worth in 2 yrs - about half of what you paid, 4 yrs the same vehicle is worth 25% of what you paid, 6 yrs and well, do you still have it?  Is it still running?  you get my point.  That land keeps going up and up - it is tangible – it is real.

Is the Kentucky Bourbon Trail the perfect “stay-cation”? We think so and here is why:

World-class, Historic Distilleries – think Scotland’s history, rolling, green hills, stone fences – sound familiar?  Looks like here.

Gorgeous scenery surrounding all of the Distilleries here in the Bluegrass amongst the top Horse Farms in the world

Education on History and why Bourbon is gaining massive popularity throughout the world – ask Knob Creek - they ran out already this year

How our area, right here in the Bluegrass, is becoming the Napa Valley of Bourbon

Education on tasting and appreciating Kentucky Bourbon

Family atmosphere – we bring our family and out of town guests to the Distilleries for Tours

Video on some Bourbon History – click here.

NOTE – You can easily visit 2-3 distilleries comfortably each day at a very leisurely pace. Best of all, most Bourbon Distillery Tours are free, whcih leaves you more money to buy a bottle or two of Kentucky’s liquid gold – KY Bourbon!

We all have our favorites here at KY Land Sales – which Bourbon is YOUR favorite? Call us 859-319-5000 or 4000 Cindy and Brad Simmons, KYLandSales.com Tell a Friend, they’ll be glad you did.
